New Card Creations

I've recently had a lot of time to do "what I love!" and this is what I came out with. Enjoy!

I made this card and box set to give my girlfriend for her Birthday. I was inspired by the card on pg.10 of the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog. I really liked the colors and they are a reflection of my girlfriends natural style.

The stamp sets I used were Punch Potpourri and Afterthoughts (both are hostess, level 1). The punches were Full Heart Punch and Boho Blossoms. The treat box was made using the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and Fancy Favor Die (need to use with the Big Shot).

I later filled the box with Chocolate Heart Candies.

I made this card for another girlfriend. I think this shabby chic style totally reflects her style. I used the Framed Tulips Ebossing Folder, a small Beveled Windowpane and First Edition DSP (all items are in the Occasions Mini Catalog).

This card was made with the Bliss Stamp Set (Sale-a-bration catalog), Beautiful Wings Embosslit (use w/Big Shot) and an Antique Brad.

This card was made using the Clearly For You (Occasions Mini Catalog) and Bliss (Sale-a-bration Catalog)Stamp sets, Scallop Trim Border Punch and Designer Label Punch. I also used the Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware and a Basic Jewel on the top of the crown.

This card was made using the Notes and Details Stamp Set (Occasions Mini Catalog), Beautiful Wings Embosslits, Square Lattice Embssing Folder and Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder (used w/Big Shot).

The Sale-a-bration has arrived!

This is one of my favorite times of the year, other than Christmas. Every year, Stampin' Up releases a "Sale-a-bration" catalog. This years catalog was just released and runs from January 25-March 31,2011. For those of you who are familiar with the Sale-a-bration period, you must be as excited as me.

Sounds good, huh? Well, if you are interested in hosting a workshop, call or email me and I will put it together for you!

New Year with lots to do!

I just checked my Blog and saw my last entry was in September. WOW! I guess I've been a bit busy since then. There have been a lot of changes going on with our Household. We sold our house, in October, which was sooo sad. We also sold our Sailboat. Then we moved into an Apartment. Now, keep in mind, this is all in anticipation of a possible job relocation for my hubby. My hubby starts his new job in a different County this coming Monday. Which means, we have been house hunting for a little bit. I think we found one. Wish us luck!

As far as papercrafting.....I've not done any since I think....September or October. Pretty sad. I went from having my craft room to only taking a small amount of SU stuff with me to the Apartment. I organized my goods about 3 weeks ago but have not found the time (or space) to use it. That is a goal for me right now. I really, really need some craft time! I am definately going to be on a mission this month.

I don't have any photos to share with you at this time. However, once I do....I will make sure to post them.

I do, however, have a Stampin' Up Special to share with you.
